Boundary Line Adjustment

A Boundary Line Adjustment plan moves a property line between two lots, allowing for the exchange of land between adjoining lots. It can also combine multiple lots into a single lot. A Boundary Line Adjustment cannot create an additional building lot and cannot result in a lot that does not comply with the Zoning Ordinance.

Once an application is received the typical review time is 7 business days. Staff will prepare comments regarding changes needed to the plat before approval; these comments are sent to the owner and the applicant. The corrected plat is resubmitted, another review is conducted, typically within 7 days. Once the plats are approvable, they are signed by the Subdivision Agent and the applicant is called to pick up the plats. The applicant must record the plats within 6 months in the Fauquier County Land Records.
